This is interesting as I would assume multiple passes from each output would result in further multi generational loss akin to tape trading of band demos, soundclashes and dj mixes…

Oh great let’s have even more noise pollution because pedestrians won’t get out of the way of cyclists who are trying to beat their personal best time on their commute to work.

If AWS has such a high turnover of staff how does this affect the suite of new services that companies build their infra around?

I recall a CD of mine had hidden audio before track one circa 1997, a coffee table jungle breakbeat on a Symphonic Black Metal album: https://www.discogs.com/release/373044-Arcturu…

What is the maximum bit rate for mixcloud mixes? The audio quality of anything I upload sounds terribly degraded especially when I share it with someone who is not signed in

I find this argument interesting though I have found that the same Jungle music I listened to in the 90s is now cutting edge again similar to around 2007 when 80s Italo House was c…

One out of ~10 international shipments of records I had in the last year one was from FedEx and they sat on it in their out for delivery warehouse in a nearby town for two months w…

Yes wanting to preserve musical history or be able to recall something you once liked probably falls into the rockist vs poptimist debate. Even listening to tracks in the order the…

At the time this was declared as a user base driven acquisition where Conde Nast assumed that the largely 20 to mid 30s male readership of Pitchfork would graduate to one of their …

> heck maybe even virtual artists that they can spin up in-house so they don't have to pay anyone: the perfect 360 artist, geeze. Spotify would love to direct the listener just to …

I was going to say it read like a puff piece about a corporation that makes most of its money from legacy back catalog

I enjoy reading posts about second hand Thinkpads outliving modern laptops but it is ironic to put a blog post on lo-tech frugality behind a paywall.

Like London there might also be a diminishing demand from under 25 year old young adults wanting to go to nightclubs in Berlin. A taxi driver told me for weekends he would work a m…

Kulee Baba and The Bear are also great fully formed tracks from those bootlegs

Yeah I imagine those tape versions will add more to the fan version. I have listened to the lo-fi original for many years

Rather delighted to a hear high quality copy of would be hit 80s song that a tape engineer erased by accident

Concert tickets are also increasingly expensive as is merchandise and travel. Could it be that the least well off demographic doesn't want to pay a premium for drinks when it means…

I wonder what would be a good Steve Albini type plugin to get one of those increasingly rare young bands to sound like they had just recorded Rid of Me or Surfer Rosa? ;)

I don’t think you can spend much emotional investment on those songs. Modern music uses less words and notes than previous decades as well as avoiding melody, time signatures, trip…

I can’t think of a song chorus or a phrase that has endured in the last decade. If it was a gameshow question to complete the lines from these contemporary songs how many would str…

The thing I noticed was that the price of an average record skyrocketed in price but the demand for an adequate turntable has not been as noticeable.

ZZ for me as well and I mapped :WQ to :w !sudo tee % >/dev/null
